Liability Insurance

A creditor may not contract for or receive a separate charge for insurance against liability unless the insurance covers a substantial risk of liability arising out of the ownership or use of property related to the credit transaction. The excess amount of a charge for insurance provided for in agreements in violation of this Section is an excess charge for the purposes of the provisions of the Chapter on Remedies and Penalties (Chapter 5) as to the effect of violations on rights of parties (§ 5201) and of the provisions of the Chapter on Administration (Article 6) as to administrative enforcement orders (§ 6108) and as to civil actions by the Administrator (§ 6113).
